The actual product length is about 5 inches from curve to curve, and 9 inches from pointed tip to flat tip. Item length was not properly described on seller's product page and what I received was different from what I expected, yet seller still expects me to pay shipping and handling both ways, and a restocking fee. Very unhappy.

Review of Gourmet Chef Heavy Duty Non Stick Fry Pans

Gourmet Chef Heavy Duty 10 Non Stick Fry Pan, Red
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
This may be a nice little non-stick pan on a regular stove, but I bought it for use with an induction stove. Be warned if you have an induction stove, this pan will not get hot enough to cook with. It has a thin steel disk imbedded in the bottom, so it will register on your stove (induction stoves don't even try to heat all-aluminum pans) but the disk simply does not generate enough heat to cook with. Even after many minutes of pre-heating on power boost, it barely exceeded lukewarm. With the right cookware, induction stoves are capable of getting insanely hot insanely fast but this is NOT the right cookware.

I bought this pan because I needed a larger non-stick frying pan, and it happened to be dark red which matches my color scheme. This pan heats evenly is durable and everything cooks like a charm. But the reason I'm writing this is because my husband has not stopped raving about how this is now his favorite pan (he does the dishes). I am very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend it. So would the dish washer.

You can't go wrong with Calphalon. It will last you forever as long as you don't use metal utencils in it. My last 2.5 quart sauce pot lasted me 13 years until I used a metal fork in it. After about a year, the scratch began to lift and it was time to replace it. This pot heats so evenly and the handle stays cooler to the touch. The new lid design it much nicer than the old one.

I also use it as a mixinng spoon. Because of the small size, it catches a lot less batter than others to be cleaned off afterwards. It's a flexible tool that's good for different tasks.

I'm very happy with the pan, heats up evenly. The welded handle (no rivets) is definitely a plus when washing it, I wish all manufacturers would do this... Handle design is also more comfortable than All-clad.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I ended up deciding on Demeyere after reading many reviews and watching a few youtube videos from the manufacture. First impression, I liked that it did not have rivets! Especially with fry pans, rivets can be so difficult to clean as food gets trapped; which also worries me about potential bacteria.

This pan is incredibly heavy, which took some time to get use to but so well made. It takes a while to heat up as others have mentioned. I use the water test to make sure it's at the correct temperature before adding anything, including oil. (Check out the free video on they have sample videos and one of them is on pan frying.) Once the pan is at the desired temperature, food does not stick and it cleans up beautifully. If it's not at the right temperature, it's a mess to clean. (I've learned the hard way.) You do have to make sure to keep the flame down to medium, even while heating for best results. I treat it much like preheating my oven. Put it on the stove, then start preparing my ingredients and within 5 minutes or so it's ready. If it is a bit messy, I will add a little white wine over the heat as if I'm deglazing, works like a charm. Also use barkeepers when needed; but am now ordering Demeyere's special soap to give it a try to. I love the 11" size, perfect for my family of four. Also looks beautiful hanging from my pot rack! It's an investment, so I am buying one piece at a time.

Best Deals for Demeyere Proline 5-Star 11" Frying Pan

I enjoyed reading some of the other reviews about this pan and have to say most of them are very accurate. The only exception I find is that the pan doesn't seem to be as easy to clean as some would claim. It is a stainless steel pan, so if something gets a little too hot or you don't have enough oil it will stick (eggs come to mind). I now use a carbon steel griddle for eggs which works so much better with less oil. To clean the Demeyere proline, I found that one of the blue scrub sponges is usually sufficient for anything that gets stuck (it is designed to scrub but will not scratch the surface of this pan). In one particularly bad case, some canola oil splatters got very sticky and I couldn't get it off until I used some Dawn Power Dissolver. The pan looked absolutely new again.

Go to Sur La Table to see these pans in person, then buy it for much cheaper here at Amazon. You will see that the handle is the most comfortable of anything out there. The 11-inch has a helper handle.

The even heating of this pan is incredible, so much better than a cast iron skillet. This pan is a true joy to cook with!

Honest reviews on Demeyere Proline 5-Star 11" Frying Pan

With this pan, you too can get tasty Maillard reactions. I had been cooking on non-stick and stainless steel (not clad) cookware that I inherited. This is much, much better. Sauteed vegetables and pan fried cutlets just taste better. It deglazes like a champ. This is a heavy pan, feels like a cast iron skillet.

I've never purchased a $260 frying pan before....but I was very tired of the discoloration that happens on the less pricey models bought at local venues, so I decided to give this a try. Just once, to see if I like it.

I don't like it, I love it.

With an induction cooktop, this very heavy cookware heats quickly and evenly, all the way to the edges. On an electric cooktop it does the same. It browns meat beautifully. Burned food (yes, I wasn't watching it closely enough) actually comes off without leaving a mark of any kind on it, after a light scrub with a teflon pad or some BarKeepers Friend.

A similar incident on a $60 pan from Bed Bath and Beyond left the discolored stainless steel aura all over the inside of the pan that could not be removed with any amount of prayer or scrubbing. (Like the older Revere Ware.)

So, yes it is three times as expensive. But I will not ever have to replace it. (It has a thirty year warranty and I probably haven't got much longer than that myself, so it's all good.)

It is heavy not as heavy as something like Le Crueset, but much heavier than the stuff you buy locally. Take that into account if you are elderly with limited hand strength this isn't for frail individuals. The handle does not get hot, even though it is welded to the pan. And this is a small thing, but rather important from an "ease of cleaning" standpoint the interior is smooth. There are no handle rivets to get gunked up with food inside the pan, and make cleaning a chore.

Totally worth it! Excellent cookware!

Reviews of Nordic Ware Holiday Star Bundt Pan

Nordic Ware Holiday Star Bundt Pan
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I love to bake but lack the artistic ability to decorate fancy cakes. Nordic Ware comes to my rescue with fabulous bundt pans that turn tasty cakes into centerpieces. The star pan is perfect for Christmas (I make chocolate peppermint cakes), July 4 (just put two red, white and blueberry cakes in the freezer), or any time you want to make someone feel like a star. As long as I spray the pan thoroughly to grease it (Baker's Joy is the best), and let the cake cool in the pan for fifteen minutes after baking, everything works perfectly; and the pan is so easy to clean. And it's hard not to love a cake that shines best with just a dusting of powdered sugar! Nothing could be easier, but people react as though I cut the star shape by hand.

Non-stick works well, looks nice, and has metal handle so can put it in stove. The only downside is the bottom is a little narrow so if you like to leave it on the stove while not using it, it will wobble since the handle is heavy enough to tilt it over. This is definitely a better pan than I would usually get and well worth it when on sale for less than $40.

Sale Price: $6.99

When I bought my first house several years ago, I bought a set of OXO kitchen utensils that were cheap. I didn't do much cooking, so I figured they would get me by. I used them for years, but when I got married, we got got a Calphalon Nylon spatula as a wedding gift. I have since replaced all my OXO utensils with Calphalon Nylon ones. I got the four-piece set and just bought this one as an extra since we use the spoon so often.

It's plastic, so you don't have to worry about it splitting or absorbing bacteria like a wooden one. This spoon is well-constructed; you can scoop a heaping pile of mashed potatoes or other heavy foods without it bending. The handle is fairly thick, so it fills the hand better than many others. The grey strip runs almost the entire length of the shaft and is slightly softer than the black body, so it offers a good grip. But the thing that made me switch everything over is its "unibody" construction. Other kitchen utensils have a shaft that tapers to the scoop which is attached to the handle with an adhesive. The problem is that, over time, the seal between the shaft and the handle can open up a bit, which lets in water whether you're using the dishwasher or washing by hand. The water can be annoying when unloading the dishwasher and, at worst, can become tepid while sitting in a drawer, dripping into your food when you take it out for use. There's nowhere for water to get stuck on these, so you don't have to worry about it.

It has been used at very high temperatures on my stove top and sent through the dishwasher dozens of times and is no worse for the wear (whereas my old OXOs have many grooves in the shaft from sitting on the side of a pot for even a short time). You might pay a little more for these, but they are worry-free and will last as long as you want to use them. I actually got a Calphalon Essentials spatula at one point, but the Nylon line is quite a bit better.

FYI: you can save a few bucks by getting the basic Calphalon 4 Pc. Nylon Utensil Set and picking up the rest on an individual basis as needed.

Pros

Plastic, so more sanitary than wood

Sturdy construction with thick handle

Softer grey on handle gives good grip

Nowhere for water to be accidentally stored

Cons

More expensive than many other spoons

The spoon exudes a strong chemical odor when when heated up by the food. I'm reluctant to use it anymore.

A drawer in our kitchen is full of large spoons, forks, tongs, and spatulas, so many that it's hard to find a specific utensil and pry it from the drawer. This particular Calphalon Nylon Spoon is at the top of Mrs. Spudman's list of favorites. She insisted I hold the spoon and experience its spoonicity for myself. I have to admit that this Calphlon spoon has a special feel and balance that other spoons (also handed to me by Mrs. Spudman) certainly lack.

Its handle is just the right thickness for superb handling and comfort, and the ladle part has just the right combination of size and concavity to dish out precise portions of food.

Want a spoon to go gaga over? Give this Cephalon spoon a try.

Calphalon is probably best known for their chef quality cooking pans (which I also own) but they're starting to make a name for themselves with their supporting cast of cooking tools as well. I've used a broad variety of kitchen utensils over the years from super cheap wood ones to high quality Good Grips. Of them, Calphalon are among the very best. The reason is simple: extremely high build quality. All of the Calphalon utensils are made of high density plastic with slightly softer plastic handles. They are a single piece of forged nylon which makes them extremely durable. I've been using a set for over a year non-stop and they still look new. Because they are nylon, they are hugely resistant to heat and will not easily melt or deform if accidentally left in a hot pot or pan. They also will not scratch your non-stick pots and pans (or even hard anodized pans if you have them). They also each have a small eyelet that will allow you to easily hang them if that's your thing.

If you prefer professional kitchen tools, these are for you. For a slightly higher price you get a much nicer tool that will last practically forever. As well made as Calphalon's pot/pan sets, they're premium quality utensils.

Highly recommended.

I borrowed this item from a friend after he had made several amazing batches of madeleines for his coworkers! It was so easy to use and came out great every time....even when not adhering to the strict recipe. I would love a nonstick one simply because it looks more elegant(costs $10 more), but as long as you spray the grooves with PAM, the madeleines pop right out! Although time consuming, melting butter and spreading it throughout the molds adds to the flavor 200%!

Honest reviews on Fox Run Madeleine Pan

I ordered two of these pans recently to bake spiced Madaleine cookies to impress our guests. Both pans were in perfect condition upon their arrival. I used them both for my first batch. Per other reviews, I buttered the pans (letting the butter sit on the pan during preparation) before pouring in the batter. Doing so allowed these pans to create the perfect Madaleine cookie! They were wonderfully moist and spongey with just a little crisp around the edges and bottom. The only note I have is that because these pans are tinned, be sure to hand wash and immediately dry them to prevent rusting. Luckily, they are very easy to clean so no soaking is required. I would definately recommend these pans for making impressive Madaleine cookies.

I really love these pans. I just made a batch of madeleines and they came out perfect. Golden crisp on the outside and with the classic madeleine humps. Beautiful. I buttered them really well, put them in the fridge while the madeleines chilled, for about an hour and a half, then filled them and straight into a preheated, hot oven they went. Clean up was a breeze. I just let them sit under water for a minute and with a sponge and soap wiped them clean. No scrubbing necessary. Not a cookie stuck!

The only drawback, slight imperfection on craftsmanship. While washing I grabbed one of the pans from the bottom and felt a sharp pain on my finger. I saw that I had a long deep cut. Wondering how, I searched all of the dished in my sink (not many) and I knew it had to be the pans. Looking carefully, I found that one of the ends had not been curled propely and this was the culprit. Be careful when handling. I'll just take a pair of pliers and finish the job myself.

Anyhow, great pans!!! Highly recommended. Enjoy.
